They were saying on the broadcast that the new STis are actually the worst of the cars in terms of being nose heavy.

Seriously, the two 08's there were Pastrana and I believe Ken Block. Pastrana ended up winning but Block in one of the earlier races went over the jump and you could see how nose heavy it was, it landed on the front end and I can't believe it still went after that, that fmic, radiator, etc had to take a huge beating.

I guess I should of clarified. I dont count those new Ford Focus looking wagons as being STi's... 2007 and under models are muuuch more evenly weight distributed. Thats why whenever you see an STi go off a jump, they just soar threw the air like the prissy *****es they are.

An STI nose-dove off the jump (The DC shoe guy), and the commentators spoke about the STI being nose heavy. The Evo looked to have been fine if the driver would've gave a little gas.

stis are set up betterin terms if things like that.
also if you were to ever take a sti drifting would succeed and most likely beat a evo.
oh well we still win in the straight line

I would give it a try, although not in a street car.
I think the Mitsu could definately be a force if it had a Subaru style support program. But we all know that will not happen.
